| What’s our upcoming webinar about? |
| A primary focus of Dr. Jonathan P. Fadok’s research is aimed at understanding how animals rapidly switch between different defensive states, such as freezing and fleeing. Recently, his team identified a novel brain pathway from the dorsal peduncular cortex to the amygdala that plays a key role in promoting flight behavior when threatened. This research offers new insights into how top-down control from the cortex can regulate survival behaviors and may help inform treatments for anxiety and trauma-related disorders. |
| Creative Biolabs has invited Dr. Jonathan P. Fadok to walk us through neural circuits of survival: how the brain orchestrates defensive behavior. |
Key webinar
highlights: |
- Overview of innate and learned defensive responses: freezing, flight, and their neural underpinnings
- Introduction to the conditioned flight model and behavioral state transitions
- Central amygdala microcircuits and their role in defensive action selection
- Discovery of a top-down cortico-amygdala pathway from the dorsal peduncular cortex
- Functional relevance of downstream targets: PAG and RRF contributions to threat modulation
- Broader implications for understanding emotional regulation and trauma-related disorders
